THE GREAT WATERBURY CLOCK.
IL Is Nearly Done, and Is TO surpass
That at Strasburg.

1uot Ut
Following is a description of the great
Waterbury clock, to which allusion has been
occasionally made:
The Waterbury Watch company has almost
completed its wonderful clock, which, In its
mechanism, is said to surpass the famous
clock of Strasburg. 1t will be completed by
early autumn, and will then be on exhibition
in several Of the leading cities of the United
States No one has yet seen II but the build
ers. The clock is Is feet high, with a base of
feet; the width is feet, and 1t Is 81 feet
deep Nearly all the choice and expensive
varieties of wood enter into its construction,
also a numberless variety Of metals. The
cabinet work throughout Is marvel of beau
ty Five long years have been consumed In
its construction; sometimes four, ut others
five men have been engaged in the work.
Time Is indicated in the usual manner by
hours, minutes and seconds; in addition half
seconds, Fights, sixteenths, and thirty
seconds. The day OF the year, month, and
week may also be taken from the dial. The
number of wheels, parts, pinions springs, and
other parts of the mechanism Is legion, all Of
which contribute to most wonderful and anus
ing exhibitions Of historical events. The
several phases of the moon are indicated. The
entire system of the planets and solar systems
are shown in perfect form and In all the varied
revolutions. A perfect system Of astronomy
may be studied from the ingenious machinery.
Many hundred figures represent distinguished
clergymeu, lawyers, physicians, orators, poets,
musicians, sculptors, artists, and actors; also
distinguished men of all nations These
figures are said to be carved in wood from
correct likeness, and are most complete re.

emancipation proclamation was signed, the

scenes at the centennial at Philadelphia In

theaters with dress and costume TO CORE

ancient and modernt, down to the latest period,
are among the curiOslties. A multitude OF
amusing scenes will fill out the measure Of
this wonderful clock. 1t Is safe to say 1t will
surpass any other mechanical structure Of the
kind ever produced.

EDISON'S PHONOGRAPH.
The Utility and Commercial Applicability
of the Invention,

lCopyiga. 1857, by as california Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 21st-Edison gives
additional particulars concerning his per-
fected phonograph. He finished his first
phonograph about ten years ago That"
he says, was more or less a toy The
germ of something wonderful was perfectly

and when the electric light business as
sumed commercial Importance | threw
everything overheard for that. Neyerthe-
less, the phonOgraph has been more or less
constantly in mind ever since. When rest
ing from prolonged work upon light, my
brain was found to revert almost automati-
cally to the old idea. Since the light has
been finished, have taken up the phono-
graph, and after eight months of steady
work have made it q commercial invention.
My phOnograph | expect to see in every
business office. The first 500 will, I hope,
be ready Tor distribution about the end of
January. Their operation is simplicity IL

A MARINE GUN.
a Piece of Ordnance that Disliked to do
Land Duty.

CHICAGO, October 2lst.-The Times New
port, K. l., special says: The vessels of
the North American squadron are anchored
here, and each day there are practical and
theoretical exercises. To-day it was de-
cided for practice to land five-inch Dahl
gren gun with carriage attached on Rose
Island, and there practice with shells The
experiment was to show what could be
done in that line with the usual appliances
found on a man-of-war In order to land
the gun and carriage at the same time two
heavy sailing launches were utilized and
were taken alongside the flagship Rich
mond. Both launches were connected by
heavy spars and equally heavy planking,
and thus four-foot platform was impro-
vised. The gun and carriage were hoisted
clear of the ships side and slowly descended
to the platform, where they were securely
fastened
The order to start was no sooner given
than the timbers snapped and the gun and
carriage gracefully glided into the water.
The weight of the gun as it went over
board capsiZed one of the launches, and
caused the other to fill with water. The
water was black with men struggling to
free themselves from the debris Three
were badly bruised. Tonight the valuable
gun and carriage rest on the bottom, and
the work OF bringing them 20 the surface
Will involve time and money. 1t is con-
sldered miracle that no lives were lost
Admiral Luce witnessed the accident and

GLADSTONE'S PROGRAMME.
The Church Disestablishment and Home
Rule Policy.

LONDON, October 21st.-No small sepsa-
ton has been created throughout the coun-
try by Gladstone's statements at Noting
ham concerning church disestablishment.
The question has often before been nibbled
by Gladstone, but now for the first time he
plainly declares the time has come for ac-
hon. He only proposes to begin with
wales and Scotland, but expressly abstains
from diseouraging the cry of Down with
the English Church establishment
Gladstone's speech is accepted as final
declaration OF war against the whole
Church as it stands, and makes it clear his
aid in the disestablishment agitation can
only be secured on the condition that a
majority is given for home rule. He saws
IN effect: " If you want church disestab-
ment you must first give me majority for
home rule
This ultimatum from one who was long
the church's tavorite son, and vino main
tanned that the monarchy must fall if the
church be touched, must necessarily cause
great commotion among the general pub
lie, as well as in clerical circles The i'm
mediate effect of this on the fortunes of
Gladstone and the Home Rule party will
probably not be great either way, the op-
ponents of church establishments having
long looked to Gladstone as their natural
leader; by qualifying, however, the prom
ised boon with the support Of home rule,
many influential di>senters, such as Bright,
Spurgeon ana Macarthur, Will be driven
away.
